Instructions

  1. Step 1: Rub the rim of a margarita glass with a lime wedge and dip into 1 tbsp coarse salt for a salted rim. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a blender, combine 2 oz white tequila, 1 cup fresh watermelon chunks, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 1 oz triple sec, 3 jalapeño slices (seeds removed for less heat), 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 1.5 cups ice cubes. Blend on high until smooth and slushy, about 30 seconds.
  3. Step 3: Taste and adjust sweetness or spice by adding more simple syrup or jalapeño slices if desired. Pour the frozen mixture into the prepared glass and garnish with a thin watermelon wedge and jalapeño slice.
